Let It Rain
Chapter 1
Her dark, midnight blue eyes scanned over the words, wanting to make sure everything was perfect, and smiled when she was satisfied with what she'd written. She ran a hand through her flowing black hair as she reached over to grab her cup of tea, taking a sip of it, and resumed typing on her laptop. The day was beautiful outside, but she had work to do if she wanted to fulfill her dream in becoming a writer. She'd been writing for almost all day and when she looked up, she seen the sun was slowly descended on the horizon, causing her to sigh sadly.
'I can't stop now. Janet will kill me if I don't get this done by this weekend.' She thought, remembering Janet's warning, and stretched her arms before continuing. Leaning back against the couch, she set her laptop on her legs and was about to continue with her writing, when the front door swung open, causing her to smile at her cousin.
Bags after bags were in her hands as she stumbled down the stairs, causing her to giggle, and her cousin shot her a death glare for her troubles. "Would you mind helping me out here a little, Keira?" She asked, breathless from carrying all the groceries in the house, and dropped them as she placed her hands on her hips.
Rolling her eyes and setting her laptop down on the table, Keira muttered, "I'm comin' I'm comin." She stood up from the couch and walked over, grabbing a few bags, and carried them into the kitchen.
Her cousin was none other than the beautiful and vivaciously talented Kelly Carlson. The Hollywood star that recently did the movie The Marine with WWE Superstar John Cena. She played his wife Kate Triton and was fabulous in it as far as Keira was concerned. Kelly had short, curly blonde hair with chocolate brown eyes and a smile that any woman would kill to have. Keira smiled over at her as she set the bags down on the floor and asked, "So, what's up your ass today?"
Sighing heavily and running a hand through her hair, Kelly shook her head and replied, "It's everything. Some moron at the market today actually tried seducing me in the checkout line and he was the cashier!"
Keira couldn't help, but laugh at her cousin, knowing it was hard for her to go out in public, and shook her head. "You should've kicked him in the balls and asked him just how badly he wanted you now."
Kelly smirked at her cousin as she began pulling the groceries out of the bag and stated, "Don't think I wasn't tempted."
Seeing all the groceries her cousin had bought, Keira started growing suspicious as she looked at Kelly with a raised eyebrow and curiously inquired, "What do we need all this food for two people for?"
Cringing inwardly as her lips stretched apart, Kelly was thankful her back was to her cousin as she took a deep breath. She couldn't believe she'd forgotten to tell Keira about her upcoming party she was throwing for the release of The Marine. "Uh Keira, you might want to sit down for this." Kelly advised causing her cousin to cross her arms in front of her chest, knowing something was definitely going on now.
"No, I'm fine standing now what's going on." Keira demanded, seeing the troubled look in her cousin's eyes, and knew this wasn't going to be something she despised.
"It's really not that big of a deal." Kelly insisted putting the bottles of champagne she'd bought away.
"Just tell me!" Ordered Keira, causing Kelly to sigh as she looked up at her cousin, seeing the anger slowly starting to swell in her midnight blue eyes, and knew she couldn't keep it hidden anymore.
Raking a hand through her hair, Kelly took a deep breath and revealed, "Keira, I'm throwing a party in honor of my movie releasing this weekend. I'm sorry, but it totally slipped my mind." She apologized, causing Keira's eyes to narrow perilously at her. "I didn't want to tell you until I knew I was having the party for sure, but I've contacted everyone and they've all RSVP back." Kelly continued on, sighing when she seen her cousin had the same expression on her face.
"Well thank you for finally telling me. Maybe I can still find a place to stay until after this party of yours is gone." Keira growled and stalked out of the kitchen, not believing the audacity of her cousin to forget to tell her something THIS important. If there's one thing Keira couldn't stand, it was being kept in the dark and going to these types of parties her cousin was planning to throw in their house.
Kelly went after her, seeing Keira was heading up to her room, and stopped her as she alleged, "I'd really love for you to be there, Keira." She meant what she said, not wanting her cousin to be forced out of their house, and felt terrible for not telling her sooner.
"Kelly, you know I can't stand those types of parties. It's just nothing, but a bunch of rich snobs bragging about how much dough they have. That's not my style." Keira reminded her, never hiding her true feelings, especially from her cousin.
"But I really, REALLY want you to be here for it!" Kelly whined, pushed her bottom lip out, and began pouting while her brown eyes turned puppy dog. Keira groaned as he stared at her cousin and Kelly knew she was getting through to her. "Pleeeeeease? For me?" She pleaded, causing Keira to roll her eyes, and slumped her shoulders in defeat.
Keira could tell this meant a lot to her cousin and couldn't let her down, especially after all she'd put up with in the past. "Fine, I'll go, but I flat out REFUSE to wear one of those moronic, sparkly dresses you're so accustomed to wearing." She stated, compromising with her cousin, and rolled her eyes when Kelly squealed and tackled her with a tight hug.
"Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!" Kelly squealed in her ear, causing Keira to groan as her eardrums began vibrating in her head.
"Damn, I think I'm deaf now." Keira muttered as Kelly released her, her eyes sparkling with happiness, and smiled widely as she jumped up and down.
"Sorry, but this is so exciting! We need go shopping and find you a proper dress to wear." Kelly conversantly said, causing Keira to sigh as she rolled her eyes once again. She absolutely hated dressing up and wasn't about to wear something her cousin picked out, no matter what.
Keira crossed her arms in front of her chest defiantly and shook her head as she declared, "I will pick out my OWN dress or I'm not going."
Kelly giggled a little as she nodded, agreeing with that, and alleged, "Alright, but wear something that's at least a LITTLE fancier than you normally would please."
A smirk formed on her lips as Keira cackled wickedly and retorted, "I make no promises."
Kelly sighed as she shook her head, knowing her cousin wouldn't let her down, and muttered back, "Thanks." She then headed back into the kitchen to put away the remainder of the groceries. Kelly smiled when her cousin walked in and proceeded to help her, always surprising her one way or another, and finished up in half the time it would've taken had her cousin not helped out. "Thanks for your help." Kelly showed her gratitude as they finished up, causing Keira to wave her off absentmindedly.
"No problem, Kel. So, who's all coming to this shindig you're throwing in our house?" She inquired, wanting to know the details of this upcoming party, and ran a hand through her hair.
"Let's seeā¦" She thought out loud and started naming off some of celebrities, which didn't interest Keira in the least. "Oh, and John Cena, my co-star." Kelly added, finally finishing off the list of people she'd invited to the celebration.
Keira nodded, not really interested, but figured she'd ask for shits and giggles. "Sounds like a class A full of rich snobs with nothing better to do in their lives than party." She replied nonchalantly, causing Kelly to roll her eyes back at her cousin.
"Keira, I'm begging you. Please try to be nice to them. This is supposed to be a celebration for the movie coming out." Kelly pleaded with her, causing Keira to smirk back at her cruelly.
"And again I say I make no promises." Keira repeated herself, causing Kelly to shake her head as she smiled, and walked out to the living room to relax for a bit. She knew Kelly needed sometime to herself and decided a nice, soothing bubble bath was calling her name. "I'm gonna head to bed. Is there anything else you need?" Keira asked, heading up the stairs slowly toward her room, and smiled when her cousin shook her head.
"Nope, night Keira." Kelly called out before turning the fireplace on and pouring herself a glass of Chardonnay. She needed it after the horrible day she had and proceeded to turn the TV on, getting comfortable.
Walking into her room and closing the door behind her, Keira wanted to shoot herself for even agreeing to go to this wretched Hollywood soiree her cousin was throwing. 'I'm in Hell right now.' She thought and shook her head, heading into the bathroom to start her shower. Quickly stripping off her clothes and kicking the to the side, Keira stepped under the hot sprays, moaning as the water cascaded down her body, washing away all the stress she'd been feeling lately. She was already overdue with her story, but couldn't help it and hoped her publisher would understand. Pouring some conditioner in her hand, after shampooing and rinsing it, Keira slipped it through her thick, black hair, not believing how fast it grew.
An hour later, she stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around her body, and tucked the towel between her breasts. She wiped the steam that had stuck to her bathroom mirror off with another towel and began brushing her teeth. Her hair was next and once it was all brushed out smooth with no knots, Keira pulled it up in a low ponytail before walking out of her bathroom. She walked over to her dresser and plucked out a pair of panties and matching bra, which were white, along with her white nightgown that went to mid thigh. After slipping them on, Keira decided she was going to write some more and pull an all nighter, knowing she had to get this story done before her publisher rung her neck.

John sat in his hotel room, looking over some documents his lawyer had given him, and sighed deeply, not believing it was over. He hadn't been married three months and caught his wife in bed with his best friend, not believing the audacity of the two. John thought he'd found the love of his life in her, but as the old saying goes 'Love is blinding' and that's exactly what it'd done to him. Her name was Kimberly and she had light green eyes with bleach blonde hair. They'd grown up in high school together and John had recently reunited with her at a house show in Boston. They hit it off instantly and dated for three months, completely devoted or so John thought and was married three months later in a private ceremony. It all changed when he came home one night off the road, deciding to surprise his wife of three months, and found her in bed with his best friend from the road, Randy Orton.
After catching them having sex in HIS bed in HIS house, John went straight to Vince and demanded a match with the fucker. Vince declined his request and put him in a tag-team match with DX being his partners and Randy's partners were Adam Copeland and Umaga. DX was feuding with Randy and Adam at the time so that's why Vince thought it was a great idea to make it a three person tag match. Randy knew John was pissed and tried to apologize, but John wasn't hearing any of it. He proceeded to beat the shit out his ex-best friend and told him he could go sleep with Kimberly anytime he wanted because he was divorcing her ass. Their friendship had been torn apart all because of the rotten skank who couldn't keep her poontang pie off someone else's dick.
'Fuckin' bitch. She's ain't gettin' shit.' John angrily thought as he signed on the dotted line, flipping the page up and signing his name again. 'I never want to see her again after this.'
After he signed the last page, John quickly folded the documents and slid them in the manila envelope, sealing it shut, and would drop it off at the post office first thing in the morning. John collapsed back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling, and let his mind wander to the release of his new movie The Marine, which was coming up the following week. He'd never had so much fun filming that movie and had become great friends with his co-star, Kelly Carlson. She'd called him up a few days ago, telling him about the party she was throwing, and asked if he could make it. Being the type of person John was he couldn't turn her down, especially since it celebrated the release of their new movie.
However, he wasn't looking forward to seeing all the celebrities he knew she'd invite. It wasn't that he disliked them; it was just the fact that most of them were snobby and only cared about how much money they had. John wasn't like that. He wasn't the type of person who let his friends down unless he absolutely had to. He was far from it actually and knew the types of questions he would be asked at Kelly's party.
Was he going to leave the WWE for Hollywood like The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) did?
Was he going to do more movies?
Was he single?
How much money did he have?
'Nosey bastards.' He sternly thought, standing up, and walking over to the mini bar his suite offered. Picking a glass up and filling it with liquor, Jack Daniels, John downed the first shot in one gulp. He groaned as the liquid burned his esophagus on his way down, but nothing could hurt as bad as having a shattered and mangled heart. John only wanted one shot, but he couldn't stop after the first, and decided to take the bottle over to the bed with him, setting it on the nightstand, and laid back down again.
A groan sounded from his lips as John pictured it happening, even though he'd already insured all the tabloids and paparazzi that wrestling was his number one priority and he wasn't leaving the WWE for Hollywood. John couldn't stand being compared to Dwayne Johnson because it wasn't his passion to be a star in Hollywood. Wrestling had been his passion all of his life and that would never change, especially after doing one movie. Sighing deeply, John folded his hands behind his head and closed his eyes, drifting off into a deep slumber.
